I worry more about their various zooplanktons and whether any of them are going to end up interacting with me all harmful like.

I gather from what Kirata and mnottertail wrote that the sticking point is access to sluts/prostitutes, but the Christian community ever strives against it. Abstinence is a discipline/virtue. If you abstain because it is thought immoral, you do so out of fear, not for the love of God nor the love of virtue. As such the attainment is false.

My impression is that sluts/prostitutes are accessible in Catholic nations, but difficult to access in Protestant nations. The problems the two of you may have may not be with Christianity per se, but with Protestants.

My understanding is that there is a fair amount of whoring going on there?

The Protestant faiths have a tendency in the direction of Puritanism. Call it a spectrum. Protestants indulge in hypocrisy whereas Catholics embrace modesty.

"During his youth, he did not escape trying temptations, but his virtue triumphed over them, in many instances in a heroic manner, and from this time he thought of retiring from the world and living a life of solitude and prayer." Saint Bernard of Clairvaux http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02498d.htm

Sin is like booze where we are all alcoholics.

This thread appears to have run its course. I started another thread Hypocrisy or Obsession http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4036600.

What is interesting about God is when you do Him a favor, He is generous. He does not bother with you unless you call upon Him and calling upon Him is often not enough. You must please Him and to do this you must value what He values. He can respond to future events as well as those that occur in the present or past. If you should meet Him, it may not necessarily for anything you have done in the present or past, but for what is in your future or all of the above. Apparently, God does not see time as we do. I did God a favor. He is currently indicating to me as I write this how I have managed to please Him.

What is it that He values? The salvation of a soul. Making the sign of the cross. There is someone who I saved.

God was here.

In Post 23 http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4029837 concede I may have sinned though my intention was not to do so. Though it really does make an important point, don't follow my example. All I know is that I'm not supposed to trouble myself too greatly. I suspect I succeeded in confusing the angels, however. That was immediately apparent to me.

I just want to cry.
